romney's campaign. promise tax cuts that would blow a much bigger hole in the federal budget while worsening economic inequality. his claims he could avoid those negative effects which defy math and which he refuses to back up with actual proposals are more insulting than reassuring. wlaets get right to our panel inform washington. eugene robinson, an msnbc analyst and a pulitzer prize winning columnist for the aforementioned "washington post" and here in new york richard wolffe is the vice president and executive editor of msnbc.com. romney has been saying the democrats have a shrinking campaign because all they want to talk about is abortion. we've been talking for 12 months about mitt romney's economic plan. we've been talking for two years about his central thesis for the presidency, what he wants to do, and what we have today is someone as esteem as general colin powell saying he, too, has looked at mr. romney carefully and decided the man is vac cuous and has nothing to stand on. >> by the way, wo

romney, right? why on god's great campaign trail would mitt romney get up in front of 12,000 people in ohio and tell them the auto bailout actually hasn't helped you at all. your jobs making jeeps are going to china. i read it somewhere. where's this story he said he read somewhere? we found it. here it is. he was apparently trolling the nether regions of the right-wing press. he found it on a washington examiner blog post, which reported, quote, jeep, an obama favorite, looks to shift production to china. a move that would crash the economy in toledo. is this true? this is not true. this is a conservative blogger's misreading of a bloomberg report that actually was reporting this news for jeep. the bloomberg report was that global demand for jeep has risen to the point where the company can sell more of them in china and it wants to build jeeps for china in china. this is good news for an american company, not bad news. they are not shipping american jobs overseas. this doesn't mean less work for a

and mitt romney won both. so he gets the first word tonight in the form of the first question being directed to him and he gets the last word tonight too with the last closing statement. and that is the definition of good luck. steve smith, what do both sides need to do? >> mitt romney needs to have an error-free debate. we look at the debates like game seven in the national league. each one is its own distinct event. if you look at the debate since they began, they benefitted mitt romney enormously. he's now in a tie race with two weeks to go. the momentum that mitt romney has, the math is expanding in his direction, he's pressing on. he needs to be presidential. no lose talk. no bellicose talk. he wants to appear as a steady hand. and i think that you look for him tonight to be a lot less argumentative than he was in the last debate. doesn't want to come across as too hot in this debate. wants people to look at him for him to have passed his last test as commander in chief. that he can get over that bar as a

i will not vote for romney. i'm voting for obama. >> i watched romney the other night in that debate, the third one on foreign policy, and i heard strange words coming out of his mouth. he's a business guy, obviously he's a successful businessman, made a quarter billion dollars. he doesn't have any interest in the world, never shown any interest in the world beyond that. my question, where did he get that thing about how we're going to charge amd and, the president of iran, with genocide for the words he's spoken, not what he's done, but the words he's spoken about israel. that would seem to be a deal breker. you start charging with guy with genocide, you're not going to cut a deal with the guy. do they want war with iran? just period, do they want war are iran no matter what raurn does henceforth, colonel? the neocaans? >> i think the question you ask has to be answered yes. there are gradations between the different neocannes but i think ultimately they want to paint the president, whoever it is, into a corner

governor romney you keep on trying to, you know, airbrush history here. >> jonathan, is governor romney trying to airbush history as it relates to the auto bailout? >> i went back and read the op-ed last night. i got on my phone and looked into it. he says that the auto industry, the companies could ask the government for help. i don't know that he was necessarily totally off-base on it. everybody should read that "new york times" piece. it's also critical to get out of the bubble here. we're talking about the foreign policy bit of this. this is all very eerily reminiscent in 1992 when george h.w. bush wanted to talk policy while bill clinton ate his lunch on it. >> so you believe in the auto bailout moment there last night that governor romney ate president obama's lunch on the auto bailout? >> in the first presidential debate, absolutely. it was all about the economy. >> we're talking about last night. you told me that foreign policy, while important, your guy's "a" game is the economy and at every opportunity, both tried to figure out a way to pre bring in the economy. the big point
